๐ A Childโs Development Journey: 3โ6 Years ๐
๐ Save this post if youโre wondering what skills children typically develop during the preschool years.
Between the ages of 3 and 6, children continue to build the foundations for learning, friendships, communication and independence. Through play, conversation and everyday experiences, they develop skills across five key areas:
๐ฌ Communication & Language
๐ง Cognitive (Thinking & Learning)
๐ Physical Development (Gross & Fine Motor Skills)
โค๏ธ Social-Emotional Development
๐งฉ Adaptive (Life Skills & Independence)
Every child develops at their own pace and will have their own unique strengths and areas of growth.
โจ Everyday interactions, play, movement, reading and problem-solving all support development during these important years.
